Falcons blow another big lead, lose late 30-26 to Bears; Quinn's seat hotter

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Falcons blew a 26-10 lead with 6 minutes, 24 seconds left in the fourth quarter and fell 30-26 to the Chicago Bears, leaving coach Dan Quinn's job status in serious jeopardy.

“Well, yeah, [owner Arthur Blank and I] visit every week: pre-game, postgame, Mondays, through the week," Quinn said.

The Falcons blew a 29-10 lead and late 15-point lead in last week's 40-39 loss at Dallas. Quinn also was coach when the Falcons blew a 28-3 lead in a Super Bowl XLI loss to the New England Patriots.
